The Sunday School of St John the Apostle Anglican Church presented their Christmas program this morning at the 10 am eucharist. This writer found the script to be one of the most imaginative he has seen in many years. The students did a magnificent job in presenting the story, "Sleepover At The Stable".

"It might be easy to run away to a monastery, away from the commercialization, the hectic hustle, the demanding family responsibilities of Christmas-time. Then we would have a holy Christmas. But we would forget the lesson of the Incarnation, of the enfleshing of God—the lesson that we who are followers of Jesus do not run from the secular; rather we try to transform it. It is our mission to make holy the secular aspects of Christmas just as the early Christians baptized the Christmas tree. And we do this by being holy people—kind, patient, generous, loving, laughing people—no matter how maddening is the Christmas rush…"(Fr. Andrew Greeley)

Note: While appreciating Fr Andrew Greeley as either a sociologist or as a spokesman for the catholic faith is not always as easy task, this quote does speak to our times. Ed.
